TAW and AMAL to merge into a mid-tier Lithium provider. Few pros and cons being discussed on the forum. I'm pretty positive about it:
1) Exposure to the SGX (it will be the only listed lithium play) + a wider pool of Asian investors
2) The extra money from placements + synergies derived from the merger will allow TAW to expand quicker
It's my broader view that the near-term Li plays are the ones to watch and hold; any company with a product-to-market horizon beyond 2019 runs the risk of the existing players cutting their lunch by ramping up production and securing the most profitable contracts.
